Pope Francis made an impassioned appeal for peace in the Middle East, Iraq and Ukraine. As we remember this tragic event, I hope that the mistakes of the past won’t be repeated, but that the lessons of history will be taken into account, so that peace always prevails through patient and courageous dialogue,” he said. He prayed that God grant the “peoples and leaders” in the Middle East, Iraq and Ukraine “the wisdom and strength to pursue the path of peace with determination and to face each dispute with the tenacity of dialogue and negotiation and the power of reconciliation.” Every decision, he said, “must not be based on particular interests but on the common good and on respect for each person. Remember that all is lost with war and nothing is lost with peace.”
